Just found your channel, and I love it! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and journey. Your garden, attitude, and tunes were a balm to a gardener too weary to head into the garden today. Also, I am happy to see I'm not the only one occasionally pulling 'night shifts!'
💚Welcome to the channel ! Thank you, gratitude 🙏🏼 Haha yeah sometimes I also like to do a little self night tour with the headlamp everything looks different often more jumanji 🙏🏼🍏🥕☀️💧🌾💚🥔🌽🌸🌀😁🍇⭐️🌷😊🍎🍉🌶️🌿🌻😎😄🌱🥦🥝🌻
Please do check out the imo (aunt in Korean) in Sonmat. She made some kimchi dish with them. We normally stirfry them. It's almost like stripping the string from the pole beans, only all around and in stagger form to break them to desired length (this might be hard to imagine!). Imagine peeling a pole bean and only half of the string came off. Then you break the other half of the bean and you get to peel of the remaining string string. That's how you peel the stems of the sweet potatoes. You can't eat them without peeling. It's tough and stringy. After peeling, they are soft. That's the best part of the sweet potatoes' leaves!! We do similar stuff with the amaranth and pumpkin leaves' stems.
Wow your garten is beautiful... so much food and a great display of permaculture and do you just leave the plants and don t harvest a view for the volunteer beds?
Thanks for the kind words! I’m happy you enjoyed the vid ! Beets are biennials they will go to seed in their second year of growth (if they seed the first year they are bolting-production from bolting seed may not be very abundant-depends) in general don’t save seed from bolting plants. On the other hand, annuals will seed the same year of growth … yes leave a couple beets in the ground (don’t harvest) And they will seed the following summer I’ve had some beets reseed in the past
You cut your onions to get all the "thrips" off? What is a thrip? The insect or something else? Loved your video BTW. It was very artistic with a touch of storytelling. How long is your season for growing watermelons? I have a few seeds in pots ready to go in the garden but I have never succeeded in getting fruit from them in the past.
Yes it’s an insect I never new there was an insect that liked onions till more recently haha never ever had bugs on onions before ! They seem like they are doing ok now I’m sure some are still there tho… Well the seasons are changing a lot as you’ve prob noticed. But typically frost date is mid May-late sep. to early oct. it’s been frost free till the end of October lately. And this year all of May was hot 🥵 So about up to 6 months Just had a cold snap for a week tho…a few melons died. I’ve got replacements going luckily. Thank you kindly 😁 Yeah I’m pushing it with the watermelon I was successful out of a green house a number of years ago but haven’t grown them in a while. A short season melon is critical; under 100 day is usually what I look for. Making sure they are fed well-some liquid organic feet can help them grow faster. Also In the past I remember giving them expired milk. Melons like the extra calcium milk is good ! 🍉🍉💚😎👍🤩🍉🙏🏼😊🌀🌿💧🌾🍉
Thanks for your comment 💚 Lol nope guess it looks that way though and yes it could be full time haha it’s enough food to sustain me, my Ma and some extra for other family. I work as a carpenter also, and on occasion i still do Fashion Design. Check out my vid~ ‘Blossoms, Terraces, Wedding Dress, Melons’ Gratitude 🙏🏼
Your asparagus asmr is too funny. Are you supposed to harvest them like that? An Indonesian vlogger in the UK whose father-in-law is an avid gardener explained about cutting it about a cm deep under the ground for better growth next year. They even had a fancy asparagus knife for it. I have some watermelon seedlings in the garden. I had collected some rotten fruits from my cousin's shop and found the seeds and dump them at a bed which i just dug. I did not expect anything to grow really cause had dump some before on the beds and nothing grew. Now I'm am wondering what am I supposed to do with them cause I know they are heavy feeders and the pests are going to get them first. I might try to plant some on my compost pile but I'm not having much hope on them. Will plant some sweet potatoes too on another row. I saw the Chinese and Korean gardeners plant and mulch the sweet potatoes in a row on mounted beds just like you would do for potatoes and they pull them out so easily. Do remember to cut of the overun vines to source the energy back to roots. You can eat the leaves but you need to peel of the skin off of the stems. Check out Sonmat if you have no idea as to what I am saying. There are actually have two different breed of sweet potatoes. One solely for the roots and the other which does not produces them. We plant them solely for the leaves. The leaves are bigger and with longer stems.
Oh that’s interesting about the asparagus. All I’ve known is harvest for a while then let some fern out…i usually snap them off lower after finding the sweet snapping spot-lower is sometimes a bit tough if they are left a bit long. I’d like to get a bigger patch going !
Cool hope some of those melons work out for you ! Yeah I’d love to grow lots of sweet potato’s. Yes I planed on cutting the over run since it’s a short season and I’m box garden growing them I cut out all my talk about sweet potatoes 🍠 from the vid. Peeling the stem though I did not know about-they seem kind of tough-haven’t tried the leaves yet and that’s interesting that there’s a variety grown just for the leave I didn’t know that either :)
@@_SunRa_ The Indonesian vlogger said to just harvest no more than six weeks. The only ones that I saw snapped were the wild asparagus. Try to use a peeler to take the skin off of the slightly harder part of the stem. Just about an inch lower.
Beautiful garden as always!
Thank you 🙏🏼 😊
I love this video Sy! Please keep videos coming!
